<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Skana, Goddesses and More<\/strong> features original\u00a0female performers with engaging presence to weave together a web of music, dance and theatricality that is wavering, ethereal, and poetic.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Composers\u00a0Milica Paranosic\u00a0and <\/strong>Muriel Louveau, <\/strong>Choreograher Emily Pope Blackman <\/a>and visual artist\u00a0Carmen Kordas <\/a>share the same passion for foreign cultures, virtual territories and they celebrate synergistic languages drawing global and historical influences that span centuries and cross ethnic and spiritual divides. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Milica Paranosic<\/a> ‘s show\u00a0”\u00a0Goddess chronicles<\/strong>”\u00a0features Milica’sintimate views and interpretations of Goddesses from Roman, Slavic,\u00a0Ewe, Hindu, Brazilian and Egyptian mythologies, in collaboration with Visual Artist\u00a0Carmen Kordas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Muriel\u00a0Louveau’ <\/a>s performance “Skana and more”<\/strong> is an extended and theatrical show, with live vocals, music and dance.\u00a0Muriel will perform songs of\u00a0“Skana <\/a>“, an album entirely produced in cyber space with american composer\u00a0Charles B Kim, and other selected pieces. All are in foreign languages inspired by far-off lands, and coming \u00a0from liturgical as well as poetic sources.<\/p>\n

For this new \u00a0version,\u00a0 Emily Pope Blackman <\/a>joins Muriel \u00a0to \u00a0create dance works in response to her singing. Her solo will echo to the variable tones reflected in Louveau’s voice contrasting between strength and fragility, highlighting delicate \u00a0rhythms as well as sustained fluidity.<\/p>\n
